Gift of Fidelity the Joy of Perseverance: Manete in dilectione mea (John 15:9). Guidelines

This volume brings together reflections on the problems inherent in fidelity and perseverance in the state of consecrated life. For this reason, the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life has elaborated some indications or lines of preventive intervention and accompaniment. With this in mind, the present document proposes to provide guidelines which, on the basis of the norms of the Canon Law and of dicasterial practice, are useful to all consecrated men and women and to all those who have roles of responsibility in both governance and formation.
